Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s been a challenging week for the usually boundlessly energetic Miley Cyrus, after bereavement left her in tears mid-gig.
Yesterday, she tweeted news that her dog had died and broke down on stage, before performing a touching yet perhaps unnecessary tribute to her pet, Floyd – Landslide by Fleetwood Mac, apparently a favourite song of both the animal and pop star. She avoided any twerking (watch the film below) .
“I’m sure you guys already know, but the reason that I’m so upset is my dog,” Miley said through tears.
“I shouldn’t say he was my favourite but he was my favourite, he passed away. I just want to do a song for him. We used to always listen to Fleetwood Mac together, it’s his favourite song.”
The singer warned her Twitter fans ahead of the Boston gig that she may not be on top form. She dramatically described the day as the “third worst” of her life so far.
She also sang an impassioned cover of Coldplay’s The Scientist , when she was joined by her little sister, Noah, who was there for moral support. The gig was part of her much-talked-about Bangerz tour.
Cyrus has had her Alaskan Klee Kai dog since 2011. Rest in peace.
